Hello,

In the file "changes" I read:

> - The built-in viewer now displays MIME messages with
> Content-Type: text/plain and Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable.

But when I read Polish newsgroups I see something like this:

> Newsgroups: pl.comp.sys.pc-unix.linux,pl.comp.ogonki
> Subject: Re: Z kamieniem w =?iso-8859-2?Q?r=EAku?= ...ku ...ku ...ku ...
> Mime-Version: 1.0
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

The "Subject:" line and the body contain some strange characters instead
of Polish letters. What can be done in order to read/write quoted-printable
mail/news with Polish national characters? I tried to find the answer in the
archives of the list but I didn't find it.
